*************************

I love leveraged business models and I have used them to build my brand, grow my list and drive traffic to my websites. I recently identified May 29, 2008 as the date I first discovered viral marketing when I was introduced to the company Worldprofit. I had joined Worldprofit as a trail member at the suggestion of my friend and marketer Connie Clark and spent about a month dabbling with the system. I do not recall why I didn’t chose to continue as a member of Worldprofit and can only recall that I was deeply involved in an offline marketing effort to build a traditional MLM company and was likely stretched too thin or so I must have thought.

Recently I became intrigued by Worldprofit as I am continually looking for resources and tools to further grow what has now become a full-time online business. So, I decided to take another look and I was a little surprised by what I found.

I invested a few days observing one of the most unique aspects of Worldprofit, which is their 24/7 live business center where monitors help close the prospects of the members. I had this playing in the background in an attempt to get a feel for how things are going at Worldprofit. I was impressed and decided to really do my homework and consider adding it in my business funnel.

First, I dug into the more credible Internet Forums:

#1. Scam.com

I was surprised that there was very little information on this site which is a “complaint magnet and there is usually pages and pages of reviews on companies by disgruntled customers. The primary thread I found was from 2008 and the feedback was mixed but mostly positive. There was the typical “I tried this for one month and didn’t make any money,” which of course was a self-fulfilled situation -it is unrealistic to expect any business to “make money” in the first month.

The following thread is a fair representation of what I have found and is of particular interest as Dr. Jeffery Lant the CEO of World Profit posted in the the thread more than once – interesting reading.

Here is a thread on the topic: Any body heard of Worldprofit

#2. Ripoff Report.com

I could only find one entry – almost unheard of for nearly 16 year old company. The posting was from 2005 and is no longer of relevant as the $9.95 boot-camp program no longer exist. One notable point is that Ms. Sandi Hunter one of the owners of World Profit actually responded to the posting and provided both clarification of the program in question and offered a direct phone number in the posting.

Here is a thread on the topic: Worldprofit Millionaire Bootcamp

#3. IM Report Card.com

I really like IM Report card as it is a fairly new Internet Business site and I find most of the information there to be very useful. Whenever I consider purchasing a product, training course or business system – I visit IM Report Card to see if anything has been posted there.

I found a review and a comment thread and although there were both very positive as well as negative comments, I found that the comments added by individuals who had actually joined Worldprofit and given it more than a couple of months of “real effort” were very good.

Here is a thread on the topic: Worldprofit Review

Second, I researched Worldprofit’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau:

I was able to confirm that Worldprofit has an A- rating with the Better Business Bureau as an “Accredited Business” which was issued on November 2000 and remains in good standing with a small number of complaints over the past 36 months as noted in the report (see the link below for full details).

It is important to note that I did not take the BBB reference at face value and was able to confirm that this was not a paid rating, which some organizations to provide. This accreditation was granted based on the actual review of the businesses which carry their seal.

Here is a direct link the the Better Business Bureau: Worldprofit BBB Accreditation

Here is a link that explains how the code of ethics: BBB Code of Business Practices

Being completely satisfied with the results of more that a dozen hours of focused due diligence and observation of Worldprofit’s Live Business Center, I decided to re-enroll in the program and

So, I decided to enroll in Worldprofit and make  it a central part of my business funnel on May 17th – exactly two years after my first exposure – I guess I was a little slow on this one.

Here are the key points that have lead me to a logical decision:

1. Worldprofit is a sixteen year old company with an exceptional track record and very few valid complaints.

2. Worldprofit has maintained accreditation with the Better Business Bureau since November 2000.

3. Worldprofit ’s founders are all recognized and respected leaders in the Internet Marketing Community

4. Worldprofit’s “Millionaire Bootcamp” is a great fast start resource for new marketers and experienced marketers alike. The bootcamp provides new members to begin making money as quickly as possible.

5. Worldprofit has 24/7 live monitors that help the members close sales, so it is a leveraged business.

6. Worldprofit provides thousands of dollars in software and web-based services to drive traffic and increase search results in all of the major search engines.

7. Worldprofit provides turnkey websites, landing pages, ads and traffic systems that solve many of the “sticking points” that cause people to fail online. I know how to leverage these resources, so this will allow me to help more people make money online.

8. Worldprofit has placed the entire 10,000 plus ClickBank product library on my site along with pre-written marketing campaigns and product sales letters that I can market at the push of a button (this is new).

9. Worldprofit has a supportive community and I have enjoyed meeting a number of their top producers who are serious marketers.

10. Worldprofit provides a unique mentor-ship opportunity as Dr. Jeffrey Lant, George Kosch, and Sandi Hunter are all experienced marketers and are highly accessible to the members of the community.

I plan to post regularly on my journey to implement the Worldprofit model into my business. As always, I will be completely transparent about what is working for me within the business and what I am doing to get results.

I can share with you that as I write this post, I have graduated from the “Millionaire Bootcamp,” driven traffic to my Worldprofit site and made enough sales to be ranked #11 for the month among all Worldprofit dealers. So, I guess I am off to a really good start after my first week. The good news for you is that everything I have done to achieve will 100% duplicate for anyone who follows the training, does the work and is patient to allow the system to work.  You must have a strong desire and work ethic to achieve success online or your results will be limited in any program.

I came online in 1995 fairly early the general use phase of the Internet. Back then getting a great premium dot com domain name wasn’t a problem and those who had the foresight to understand the importance of “keyword phrases” and snap up very valuable virtual real estate. Now what?

What do you do when you can’t find a great domain name for your business, project, or personal brand? Many have given up on finding a premium dot com domain or settled for a less that SEO friendly, a dot info or dot net alternative, or other less attractive domain options. There are other options, you can purchase domains from a domain broker or expired domains auction site – this can be effective but expensive.

I have a better alternative and it is called Premium Domain Marketplace a brand new website that I own and launched to help you find a premium domain at your price. Have you seen the commercial featuring William Shatner for a travel company… you know the one where he says “name your price!” Well, that is exactly the way I operate my new site. I post great domains and your name a reasonable price – fair enough?

Here is an sample of currently available domains:

I would like invite you to check out my new site and explore some truly great domain names.

I am here to help you succeed and wish you a blessed day!

Would you love to be standing in front of a huge crowd of loyal subscribers waiting patiently to engage in the community you are creating through your blog? The process is actually quite simple as long as you seek first to add value and deliver on your specific promises. I have put together five surefire strategies to ensure you become a crowd souring expert by following my actionable advice.

List Building Strategies #1. Make Your Content Relevant

One of the biggest mistakes I see newsletter and e-zine publishers making is writing about non-congruent topics that their readers may not be interested in. Sourcing a crowd of loyal readers requires a certain sensitivity to why your readers chose to subscribe in the first place – what was your promise?

I recommend surveying your readers from time to time and rewarding them for taking the time to respond with a high value e-book, audio file or video. Provide a few topics that you are thinking about publishing on and ask them for suggestions of the topics they are hoping to learn more about by being a subscriber to your list. This will provide a sense of ownership among your readers and you will inspire a sense of community among your subscribers.

List Building Strategy #2: Add A Subscriber Opt In Box To Your Blog

I know, this sounds like a fundamental step and you are correct – it is! It is surprising how many people actually fail to do this and many who do provide an subscriber opt in web-form do it incorrectly. Let’s fix that!

My recommendation is to offer the opt in in three specific ways:

1. Create a web-form using your auto-responder service so that your subscribers are actually opting into your primary list – not just registering to your blog list. The major auto-responder services like Aweber and Traffic Wave offer simple plug and play form creators and tutorials on how to do this in a few simple steps.

Once your web-form has been created it can be integrated anywhere on the site that adds to the overall functionality of your site design and navigation which usually would be on your side bar near the top of every page.

2. Offer RSS (known as “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”) allows visitors to subscribe to a subscription to receive a summary view of your site containing your articles each time you post. The visitor opts into a subscription and can choose to either receive notification by email or gain access using a RSS reader. Here is an example of the RSS for my site AskJamesHolmes RSS

Most blog themes automatically integrate RSS into the design on their templates. However, there is an option to use a free third party service such as Feed Burner – my personal choice. You may also want to add an RSS plug in that will allow you to post a subscription form at the bottom of your pages or post.

3. E-Mail Opt In is an option but not one I would recommend as your primary method. The process is simple and involves subscribing your readers to your auto-responder by having your reader send a “blank e-mail” to a specific e-mail address within your auto-responder. By taking the action of sending the blank e-mail your reader is subscribed to that specific list.

List Building Strategy #3: Offer An Outstanding Bonus Or Gift

I always assume that I must provide exceptional value to my subscribers before I can expect to gain their loyalty to my list and I strive to deliver value through quality content, bonus offers and gifts.

It is critical that your gifts be given with the right intention, you are not trying to build a list of “freebie seekers,” so view these gestures as loyalty rewards – not as bait to gain their opt in. Now this is quite different from an ethical bribe, which is the gift you are giving in exchange for their initial subscription.

List Building Strategy #4: Use Free Viral E-Books To Gain New Subscribers

Viral marketing is powerful and using viral e-books will allow you to attract thousands of subscribers to your list by giving your books away. You can create the e-books yourself, heavily edit private label rights products, or claim a free subscription at Viral E-Book Explosion – this site will work for you.

So what makes theses e-books viral? The answer is comes down to the quality of the content and the number of relevant links embedded into the book. Be sure to provide recommendations for products and services that relate to the content contained in the text and place links to your websites, blogs, newsletters and affiliate programs.

When preparing your e-books for distribution, keep your primary goal in mind – you are using these tools to build your list not to make a sale. Be sure to promote your e-books to other marketers who can help you launch your book virally.

List Building Strategy #5: Use Pop Up Windows at EXIT

I have seen many bloggers use pop up opt in boxes with great effect over the last few years. I do recommend this method but I would only recommend using these scripts at exist. I am annoyed when I arrive at a website or blog and I am immediately greeted by a pop up subscriber form before I have even had a chance to derive value from the site.

Remember what I said at the beginning of this post – “I always assume that I must provide exceptional value to my subscribers before I can expect to gain their loyalty to my list…”

Deliver your pop-up after you have delivered value and make sure that your opt in offer, your “ethical bribe” is congruent with the content of your site. As I write this post, I am using “List Hero” on my blog – although that may change from time to time as I split test and revise my messages.

The exit pop up is an excellent way to deliver additional value to every visitor to your site and the process of setting a pop up on your blog is very simple.

I recommend the following:

1. List Hero – This is a turnkey solution, a complete system  for building your list.

2. AWeber – Build instant pop up forms with custom features.

3. Now Sell Script – This is more advanced if you need a techy solution.

So there you have it, a completely actionable set of strategies to engage your crowd of readers and build you list. Keep in mind that your purpose is to add value and build a community of subscribers that will grow with every visit to your websites and blogs. Chose one method and work with it through to completion, then add an second strategy and do the same. Over time implement all five and you l be well on your way to growth in your online business.

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know how this post has helped you and share an idea or two of your own.

I am here to help you succeed and wish you a blessed day!

If you are an Internet Marketer your must have an auto-responder or responsible for marketing an offline business you should be using one. Auto-responders are the key automating your communications flow with your prospects and clients.

I am posting a series of articles to share key information on how you can use auto-responders to boost your sales. Auto-responders are automated “sales aides” that tirelessly follow up with your prospects and customers so you can form relationships.

You simply create a series of letters and decide how often you want them to be sent. Then, when people sign up for your auto-responder series, each follow-up letter is sent on the precise schedule that you’ve established. Can you see how powerful this is for growing your business?

How can you leverage auto-responders? You can accomplish anything that you can do with e-mail, but do it once and allow the system to personalize and send out your messages on auto-pilot.

Here’s some of the best ways to leverage auto-responders to grow your business:

• Deliver FREE Reports (You can provide true value)
• Provide Technical Support Follow-up (Solve problems for people)
• Deliver Online Sales and Training Courses (Provide wealth building tools)
• Deliver Frequently Asked Questions (Anticipate stumbling blocks)
• Process Online Forms (Create efficiency)

There are essentially three types of auto responders available. Each one has its own features, benefits and short comings. Keep in mind that it’s up to you to determine which type of account meets your needs.

Here’s a look at your options:

PC-Based Auto-Responders

This is a software package that you install right on your computer. It parses and processes incoming mail through your existing e-mail client and responds to messages that meet your criteria.

I have personally never used this type of system as e-mail deliverability is crucial and it is a bit of a risk not using a web-based service that keeps up on all of the changes within the ISP community. The three web-based services I recommend have full-time staffs that work on this issue on your behalf.

Advantages

• You typically pay a one-time fee and you own the software.
• It’s easy to use but typically provides only the most basic auto-responder services.

Disadvantages

• It only works when your computer is on and connected to the Internet.
• It’s only as fast as your Internet connection
• Your ISP may not allow you to send large quantities of mail.
• You could get shut down if a subscriber forgets that they asked for your auto-responder series and makes a S~P~A~M complaint

Owner-Managed, Web-Based Auto-Responders

This is software that you install directly on your own web site. While some of the packages are full-featured, many are weak and buggy.

Advantages

• You typically pay a one-time fee and you own it.
• Some versions have advanced features.
• It’s as fast as your server’s Internet connection.

Disadvantages

• You need advanced technical knowledge to install and maintain the auto-responder.
• You have to own your own web site and domain name.
• You may exceed your web host’s daily bandwidth limits if your auto-responder series is popular.
• You could get shut down if a subscriber forgets that they asked for your auto-responder series and makes a S~P~A~M complaint

Auto-Responder Service Provider (My Recommendation)

This is an auto-responder service that you pay a small monthly fee (typically less that $20) and operate from a web based administration panel that is password protected.

The service provided host list database as well your entire follow email series, newsletter, etc.

Advantages

• You don’t need any technical knowledge.
• You don’t need to own your own web site or domain name.
• You don’t have to worry about e-mail or bandwidth limits.

Most auto-responder operators realize that auto-responder S~P~A~M complaints are usually bogus, so they are more lenient when you get one.

Disadvantages

You have to pay a monthly fee but, in most cases, it’s more than worth it to not have to deal with all the hassles of running your own. I DON NOT really consider this a “disadvantage” as I view this as a small investment in your business with BIG returns!

Deciding what type of auto-responder you want is just the first step. No auto-responder is a good deal if you don’t understand the secrets of using them to help grow your list and build your business. We will cover the secrets behind successfully utilizing auto-responders in my next post.

In the meantime, I would recommend taking a test drive of the current industry standard when it comes to auto-responders.

From time to time I will share with you what is working now in my business now. Today, I want to provide a short review and recommendations for my top 5 viral list builders. I am actively using each of these in my business and have done the home work to prove they actually do work. To make it super simple for you to get startied building your list, I have included a link for a free account at each website.

#1. The Prosperity Marketing System

By using a self-funded proposal system you can greatly enhance your list building effort and often earn income even when a subscriber says no to your primary product, program or service. This is achieved when you offer extreme value typically using a well priced e-book, audio, or self directed training. Your prospect may eventually say no to your primary offer yet take advantage of what you have to offer on the front end.

The Prosperity Marketing System is a turnkey solution which provides your prospect with a free account included a video making the case for Internet marketing and access to select areas within the membership site. The system issues a series of  emails illustrating the value of a small upgrade of $27.95  (one-time) to gain full access to a three module training series and the ability to earn commissions by referring others to the system. The final step is complete ownership upgrade of $19.95 (monthly) and a license to band your primary offer within the system itself.

The system is truly turnkey – I have earned commissions and completed enrollments in  one of my primary programs (GVO) within the first week of using the system and have continued to do so to this day.

#2. Build A Subscriber List

This is my newest website and I literally give away a couple of hundred dollars in free e-books just for subscribing. The best part of this system is that it is set up for you to duplicate 100% in order to likewise giveaway these same quality e-books and build your own list. I even offer support to help you customize the website, brand it with your picture and get it online quickly!
